2. What Bank is Required to Do

2.1 Set Up Accounts

(a) Bank will establish and maintain the following accounts (“Accounts”):

	(i)		one or more Securities Accounts in the name of Customer for Financial Assets, which may be received by or on behalf of Bank for the account of Customer, including as an Entitlement Holder; and
	(ii)		one or more accounts in the name of Customer (“Cash Account”) for any and all cash received by or on behalf of Bank for the account of Customer.

(b) At the request of Customer, additional Accounts may be opened in the future, which will be subject to the terms of this Agreement:

	(i)		in accordance with the provisions of an agreement among Customer and a broker-dealer (registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealer, Inc. (“NASD”), or any futures commission merchant registered under the Commodity Exchange Act, relating to compliance with the rules of the Options Clearing Corporation and of any registered national securities exchange (or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or any registered contract market), or of any similar organization, regarding escrow or other arrangements in connection with transactions by Customer;
	(ii)		for the purpose of segregating cash or Financial Assets with options purchased or sold by Customer; and
	(iii)		for any other corporate purposes as per the Instruction of an Authorized Person.

2.2 Cash Account

	(a)		Except as otherwise provided in Instructions acceptable to Bank, all cash held in the Cash Account will be deposited during the period it is credited to the Accounts in one or more deposit accounts at Bank in which cash shall not be subject to withdrawal by check or draft. Funds credited to the Cash Account will be transferred by Bank by means of Instruction (“payment order”) to a Bank administrator assigned to Customer. Payment orders and Instructions seeking to cancel payment orders or to amend payment orders shall be verified in accordance with a Security Procedure or, if no Security Procedure is applicable, Bank may execute or pay payment orders issued in Customer’s name which Bank believes in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Person.
	(b)		Any amounts credited by Bank to the Cash Account on the basis of a notice or an interim credit from a third party, may be reversed if Bank does not receive final

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

payment in a timely manner. Bank will notify Customer promptly of any such reversal.

2.3 Segregation of Assets; Nominee Name

	(a)		Bank will identify in its books that Financial Assets credited to Customer’s Securities Account belong to Customer (except as otherwise may be agreed by Bank and Customer).
	(b)		Bank is authorized, in its discretion:

	(i)		to hold in bearer form, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in bearer form or are delivered to Bank in bearer form;
	(ii)		to hold Financial Assets in or deposit Financial Assets with any Securities Depository or settlement system;
	(iii)		to hold Financial Assets in omnibus accounts on a fungible basis and to accept delivery of Financial Assets of the same class and denomination as those deposited with Bank; and
	(iv)		to register in the name of Customer, Bank, a Securities Depository, or their respective nominees, such Financial Assets as are customarily held in registered form.

2.4 Settlement of Transactions

          Subject to Article 3 and Section 4.2 of this Agreement, Bank will act in accordance with Instructions with respect to the settlement of transactions. Settlement will be conducted in accordance with prevailing standards of the market in which the transaction occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the risk of loss will be borne by Customer whenever Bank delivers Financial Assets or payment in accordance with applicable market practice in advance of receipt or settlement of the expected consideration. In the case of the failure of Customer’s counterparty (or other appropriate party) to deliver the expected consideration as agreed, Bank will contact the counterparty to seek settlement and will notify Customer of such failure.

2.5 Contractual Settlement Date Accounting

(a) Should Customer request to have Bank’s Contractual Settlement Date Accounting Service, Bank will effect book entries on a contractual settlement date accounting basis as described below with respect to the settlement of transactions in those markets where Bank generally offers contractual settlement date accounting.

	(i)		Sales: On the settlement date for a sale, Bank will credit the Cash Account with the proceeds of the sale and transfer the relevant Financial Assets to an account at Bank pending settlement of the transaction if not already delivered.
	(ii)		Purchases: On the settlement date for the purchase (or earlier, if market practice requires delivery of the purchase price before the settlement date), Bank will debit the Cash Account for the settlement amount and credit a separate account at Bank. Bank then will post the Securities Account as awaiting receipt of the expected

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

Financial Assets. Customer will not be entitled to the delivery of Assets that are awaiting receipt until Bank actually receives them.

Upon request, Bank shall provide Customer with a list of those markets for which it provides contractual settlement date accounting. Bank may add markets to or remove markets from this list upon notice to Customer that is reasonable in the circumstances. Bank reserves the right to restrict in good faith the availability of contractual settlement date accounting for credit or operational reasons.

(b) Bank may reverse any debit or credit made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) prior to a transaction’s actual settlement, upon notice to Customer, in cases where Bank reasonably believes that the transaction will not settle in the ordinary course within a reasonable time. Customer will be responsible for any costs or liabilities resulting from such reversal. Customer acknowledges that the procedures described in Section 2.5 are of an administrative nature, and Bank does not undertake to make loans and/or Financial Assets available to Customer.

2.6 Actual Settlement Date Accounting

With respect to any settlement of a transaction that is not posted to the Account on the contractual settlement date as referred to in Section 2.5, Bank will post such transaction on the date on which the cash or Financial Assets received as consideration for the transaction is actually received and cleared by Bank.

2.7 Income Collection (AutoCredit^®)

	(a)		Bank will monitor information publicly available in the applicable market about forthcoming income payments on the Financial Assets, and will promptly notify Customer of such information.
	(b)		Bank will credit the Cash Account with income proceeds on Financial Assets on the anticipated payment date, net of any taxes that are withheld by Bank or any third party (“AutoCredit”). Bank may reverse AutoCredit credits upon oral or written notification to Customer if Bank believes that the corresponding payment will not be received by Bank within a reasonable period or the credit was incorrect.
	(c)		In markets where Bank does not provide an AutoCredit service, income on Financial Assets (net of any taxes withheld by Bank or any third party) will be credited only after actual receipt and reconciliation.
	(d)		Bank will make good faith efforts to contact appropriate parties to collect unpaid interest, dividends or redemption proceeds and notify Customer of the late payment.

2.8 Miscellaneous Administrative Duties

(a) Until Bank receives Instructions to the contrary, Bank will:

(i) present all Financial Assets for which Bank has received notice of a call for redemption or that have otherwise matured, and all income and interest coupons and

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

			other income items that call for payment upon presentation;
	(ii)		execute in the name of Customer such certificates as may be required to obtain payment in respect of Financial Assets; and
	(iii)		exchange interim or temporary documents of title held in the Securities Account for definitive documents of title.

	(b)		In the event that, as a result of holding of Financial Assets in an omnibus account, Customer receives fractional interests in Financial Assets arising out of a Corporate Action or class action, Bank will credit Customer with the amount of cash it would have received had the Financial Assets not been held in an omnibus account, and Customer shall relinquish to Bank its interest in such fractional interests.
	(c)		If some, but not all, of an outstanding class of Financial Assets is called for redemption, Bank may allot the amount to be redeemed from its customers on a pro rata basis or in a similar manner Bank deems fair and equitable.

2.9 Corporate Actions

	(a)		Bank will act in accordance with prevailing market standards to obtain information concerning Corporate Actions that is publicly available in such market. Bank also will review information to which it subscribes for information concerning such Corporate Actions. Bank will promptly provide that information (or summaries that accurately reflect the material points concerning the applicable Corporate Action) to Customer or its Authorized Person.
	(b)		Bank will act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such Corporate Actions. If the Customer fails to provide Bank with timely Instructions with respect to any Corporate Action, neither Bank nor its nominees will take any action in relation to that Corporate Action, except as otherwise agreed in writing by Bank and Customer or as may be set forth by Bank as a default action in the notification it provides under Section 2.9(a) with respect to that Corporate Action.

2.10 Class Action

Any notices received by Bank’s corporate actions department about settled securities class action that requires action by affected owners of the underlying Financial Assets will be promptly notified to Customer if Bank, using reasonable care and diligence in the circumstances, identifies that Customer was a shareholder and held the relevant security in custody with Bank at the relevant time.

2.11 Proxies

(a) Bank will monitor information distributed to holders of Financial Assets about upcoming shareholder meetings, promptly notify Customer of such information and, subject to Section 2.11(c), act in accordance with the Customer’s Instructions in relation to such meetings (the “Proxy Voting Service”).

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

	(b)		The Proxy Voting Service does not include physical attendance at shareholder meetings. Requests for physical attendance at shareholder meetings can be made but they will be evaluated and agreed to by Bank on a case by case basis.
	(c)		Customer acknowledges that the provision of the Proxy Voting Service may be precluded or restricted under a variety of circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to:

	(i)		the Financial Assets being on loan or out for registration;
	(ii)		the pendency of conversion or another Corporate Action;
	(iii)		the Financial Assets being held in a margin or collateral account at Bank or another bank or broker, or otherwise in a manner which affects voting; and
	(iv)		local market regulations or practices, or restrictions by the issuer.

2.12 Statements of Account

	(a)		Bank will provide Customer with a statement of account for each Account, identifying cash and Financial Assets held in the Account and any transfers to and from the Account. If agreed by the parties, statements of account will be accessed by Customer on-line. Otherwise, statements will be sent to Customer at times to be mutually agreed by the parties. Customer will review its statement of account and give Bank written notice of any suspected error or omission within a reasonable time of the date of the relevant suspected error or omission.
	(b)		Customer acknowledges that information available to it on-line with respect to transactions posted after the close of the prior business day may not be accurate due to mis-postings, delays in updating Account records, and other causes. Bank will not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of the inaccuracy of any such information accessed on-line.

2.13 Access to Bank’s Records

	(a)		Bank will allow Authorized Persons of Customer’s auditors and independent public accountants such reasonable access to the records of Bank relating to Financial Assets as is required in connection with their examination of books and records pertaining to Customer’s affairs.
	(b)		Bank will, upon reasonable written notice, allow Customer reasonable access during normal working hours to the records of Bank relating to the Accounts. Bank may impose reasonable restrictions on the number of individuals allowed access, the frequency and length of such access, and the scope of the records made available. Customer shall reimburse Bank for the cost of copying, collating and researching archived information at Bank’s regular hourly rate.

	2.14		Tax Relief Services
			Bank will provide tax relief services as provided in Section 8.2.

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

	2.15		Notification
			If Customer has agreed to access information concerning the Accounts through Bank’s website, Bank may make any notifications required under this Agreement by posting it on the website.

3. Instructions

3.1 Acting on Instructions; Method of Instruction and Unclear Instructions

	(a)		Customer authorizes Bank to accept and act upon any Instructions received by it without inquiry. Customer will indemnify Bank Indemnitees against, and hold each of them harmless from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Bank Indemnitees as a result of any action or omission taken in accordance with any Instruction.
	(b)		Customer will where reasonably practicable use automated and electronic methods of sending Instructions.
	(c)		Bank shall promptly notify an Authorized Person if Bank determines that an Instruction does not contain all information reasonably necessary for Bank to carry out the Instruction. Bank will not be liable for any loss arising from any reasonable delay in carrying out any such Instruction pending receipt of such missing information, clarification or confirmation.
	(d)		In executing or paying a payment order, Bank may rely upon the identifying number (e.g., Fedwire routing number or account) of any party as instructed in the payment order. Customer assumes full responsibility for any inconsistency between the name and identifying number of any party in payment orders issued to Bank in Customer’s name.

3.2 Verification and Security Procedures

	(a)		Bank and Customer shall from time to time agree upon security procedures to be followed by Customer upon the issuance of an instruction and/or by Bank upon the receipt of an instruction, so as to enable Bank to verify that such instruction is authorized (“Security Procedures”). A Security Procedure may, without limitation, involve the use of algorithms, codes, passwords, encryption and telephone call backs. Customer acknowledges that Security Procedures are designed to verify the authenticity of, and not detect errors in, instructions. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that a SWIFT message issued in the name of Customer through any third party utility agreed upon by the parties as being a method for providing Instructions and authenticated in accordance with that utility’s customary procedures, shall be deemed to be an authorized Instruction.
	(b)		Bank and Customer shall ensure that any codes, passwords or similar devices are reasonably safeguarded.

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

(c) Either party may record any of their telephone communications.

	3.3		Instructions Contrary to Law/Market Practice
			Bank need not act upon Instructions which it reasonably believes to be contrary to law, regulation or market practice and Bank will be under no duty to investigate whether any Instructions comply with Applicable Law or market practice.

	3.4		Cut-Off Times
			Bank has established cut-off times for receipt of Instructions, which will be made available to Customer. If Bank receives an Instruction after its established cut-off time, Bank will attempt to act upon the Instruction on the day requested if Bank deems it practicable to do so or otherwise as soon as practicable on the next business day.
	3.5		Electronic Access
			Access by Customer to certain applications or products of Bank via Bank’s web site or otherwise shall be governed by this Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 3.

4. Fees, Expenses and Other Amounts Owing to Bank

	4.1		Fees and Expenses
			Customer will pay Bank for its services under this Agreement such fees as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time, together with Bank’s reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and tax or related fees incidental to processing charged directly or indirectly by governmental authorities, issuers, or their agents. The Bank will invoice the Customer for amounts owing to it and such amounts will be payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice. The Bank will be entitled to deduct amounts owing to it from the Cash Account if Customer has not objected to the invoice within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice (or such other period as the parties may agree in writing). If Customer disputes an invoice, it shall nevertheless pay, or allow the Bank to deduct, such portion of the invoice that is not subject to a bona fide dispute. Without prejudice to Bank’s other rights, Bank reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts from the due date until actual payment at such rate as Bank may reasonably determine.
	4.2		Overdrafts
			If a debit to the Cash Account results (or will result) in a debit balance, then Bank may, in its discretion, (i) advance an amount equal to the overdraft, (ii) refuse to settle in whole or in part the transaction causing such debit balance, or (iii) if any such transaction is posted to the Securities Account, reverse any such posting. If Bank elects to make such an advance, the advance will be deemed a loan to Customer, payable on demand, bearing interest at the

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

			applicable rate charged by Bank from time to time, for such overdrafts, from the date of such advance to the date of payment (both after as well as before judgment) and otherwise on the terms on which Bank makes similar overdrafts available from time to time. No prior action or course of dealing on Bank’s part with respect to the settlement of transactions on Customer’s behalf will be asserted by Customer against Bank for Bank’s refusal to make advances to the Cash Account or to settle any transaction for which Customer does not have sufficient available funds in the Account.
	4.3		Bank’s Right Over Securities; Set-off

	(a)		Customer grants Bank a security interest in and a lien on the Financial Assets held in the Securities Account as security for any and all amounts which are now or become owing to Bank under any provision of this Agreement, whether or not matured or contingent (“Indebtedness”).
	(b)		Without prejudice to Bank’s rights under Applicable Law, Bank may set off against any Indebtedness the credit balance of any of Customer’s accounts (whether deposit or otherwise) with any branch or office of Bank or with any Affiliate of Bank of which Customer is the beneficial owner. For this purpose, Bank shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of any fixed term deposits. Bank will notify Customer in advance of any such charge unless Bank reasonably believes that it might prejudice its interests to do so and, in such event, Bank will notify Customer promptly afterwards.

5. Securities Depositories

5.1 Use of Securities Depositories

	(a)		Bank may deposit Financial Assets with, and hold Financial Assets in any Securities Depository on such terms as such Securities Depository customarily operates and Customer will provide Bank with such documentation or acknowledgements that Bank may require to hold the Financial Assets in such Securities Depository.
	(b)		Bank is not responsible for the selection or monitoring of any Securities Depository and will not be liable for any act or omission by (or the insolvency of) any Securities Depository. In the event Customer incurs a loss due to the negligence, willful misconduct, or insolvency of a Securities Depository, Bank will make good faith efforts, in its discretion, to seek recovery from the Securities Depository, but Bank will not be obligated to institute legal proceedings, file proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding, or take any similar action.

6. Additional Provisions Relating to Customer

	7.3		Bank May Consult With Counsel
			Bank will be entitled to rely on, and may act upon the advice of professional advisers in relation to matters of law, regulation or market practice (which may be the professional

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

			advisers of Customer), and shall not be liable to Customer for any action taken or omitted pursuant to such advice.
	7.4		Bank Provides Diverse Financial Services and May Generate Profits as a Result

(a) Customer acknowledges that Bank or its Affiliates may have a material interest in transactions entered into by Customer with respect to the Accounts or that circumstances are such that Bank may have a potential conflict of duty or interest. For example, Bank or its Affiliates may:

	(i)		act as a market maker in the Financial Assets to which the Instructions relate;
	(ii)		provide brokerage services to other customers;
	(iii)		act as financial adviser to the issuer of such Financial Assets;
	(iv)		act in the same transaction as agent for more than one customer;
	(v)		have a material interest in the issue of the Financial Assets; or
	(vi)		earn profits from any of the activities listed herein.

(b) Customer further acknowledges that Bank or its Affiliates may be in possession of information tending to show that the Instructions received may not be in the best interests of Customer but that Bank is not under any duty to disclose any such information.

	7.5		Assets Held Outside Bank’s Control
			Bank will not be obliged to hold Financial Assets or cash with any person not agreed to by Bank. Furthermore, Bank will not be obliged to register or record Financial Assets in the name of any person not agreed to by Bank. If, however, Customer makes such a request and Bank agrees to the request, the consequences of doing so will be at Customer’s own risk. Bank will not be liable for any losses incurred as a result and may be precluded from providing some of the services referred to in this Agreement (for example, and without limitation, income collection, proxy voting, class action litigation and Corporate Action notification and processing).
	7.6		Ancillary services
			Bank may use third parties to provide ancillary services (i.e., services that do not form part of the custody services contained in Article 2 and which include without limitation courier or pricing services). While Bank will use reasonable care in the selection and retention of such third parties, it will not be responsible for any errors or omissions made by such third party in providing the relevant services.

8. Taxation

8.1 Tax Obligations

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

	(b)		Customer will provide to Bank such certifications, documentation, and information as it may require in connection with taxation, and warrants that, when given, this information is true and correct in every respect, not misleading in any way, and contains all material information. Customer undertakes to notify Bank immediately if any information requires updating or correcting. Bank shall not be liable for any taxes, penalties, interest or additions to tax, payable or paid that result from:

	(i)		the inaccurate completion of documents by Customer or any third party;
	(ii)		the provision to Bank or a third party of inaccurate or misleading information by Customer or any third party;
	(iii)		the withholding of material information by Customer or any third party; or
	(iv)		any delay by any revenue authority or any other cause beyond Bank’s control.

	(c)		If Bank does not receive appropriate certifications, documentation and information then, as and when appropriate and required, additional tax shall be deducted from all income received in respect of the Financial Assets issued (including, but not limited to, U.S. non-resident alien tax and/or backup withholding tax).
	(d)		Customer will be responsible in all events for the timely payment of all taxes relating to the Financial Assets in the Securities Account; provided, however, that Bank will be responsible for any penalty or additions to tax due solely as a result of Bank’s negligent acts or omissions with respect to paying or withholding tax or reporting interest, dividend or other income paid or credited to the Cash Account.

8.2 Tax Relief Services With Respect to American Depository Receipts

	(a)		Subject to the provisions of this Section, Bank will apply for a reduction of withholding tax and any refund of any tax paid or tax credits in respect of income payments on Financial Assets comprised of American Depository Receipts credited to the Securities Account that Bank believes may be available. To defray expenses pertaining to nominal tax claims, Bank may from time to time set minimum thresholds as to a de minimis value of tax relief claims or reduction of withholding which it will pursue in respect of income payments under this Section 8.2
	(b)		The provision of a tax relief service by Bank is conditional upon Bank receiving from Customer (i) a declaration of its identity and place of residence and (ii) certain other documentation (pro forma copies of which are available from Bank), prior to the receipt of Financial Assets comprised of American Depository Receipts in the Account or the payment of income.
	(c)		Bank will perform tax relief services only with respect to taxation levied by the revenue authorities of the countries advised to Customer from time to time and Bank may, by notification in writing, in its absolute discretion, supplement or amend the countries in

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

which this tax relief service is offered. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 8.2, Bank will have no responsibility with regard to Customer’s tax position or status in any jurisdiction.

9. Termination

9.1 Term and Termination

	(a)		The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of three years following the date on which Bank commenced providing services under the Agreement. Following the initial term, Customer may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days’ written notice to Bank. Bank may terminate this Agreement on one hundred and eighty (180) days’ written notice to Customer.
	(b)		Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a):

	(i)		Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice to the other party in the event that a material breach of this Agreement by the other party has not been cured within thirty (30) days of that party being given written notice of the material breach;
	(ii)		Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice to the other party upon the other party being declared bankrupt, entering into a composition with creditors, obtaining a suspension of payment, being put under court controlled management or being the subject of a similar measure;
	(iii)		Bank may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days’ written notice to Customer in the event that Bank reasonably determines that Customer has ceased to satisfy Bank’s customary credit requirements; and
	(iv)		Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time on sixty (60) days’ written notice to Bank upon payment of a termination fee. The termination fee will be an amount equal to six (6) times the average monthly fees paid during the six month period prior to Customer’s notice of termination, or since the date Bank commenced providing services under this Agreement if that period is less than six months.

	9.2		Exit Procedure
			Customer will provide Bank full details of the persons to whom Bank must deliver Financial Assets and cash a reasonable period before the effective time of termination of this Agreement. If Customer fails to provide such details in a timely manner, Bank shall be entitled to continue to be paid fees under this Agreement until such time as it is able to deliver the Financial Assets and cash to successor custodian, but Bank may take such steps as it reasonably determines to be necessary to protect itself following the effective time of termination, including ceasing to provide transaction settlement services in the event that Bank is unwilling to assume any related credit risk. Bank will in any event be entitled to

Form Domestic Custody Agreement (Mutual Fund) February 28, 2007

deduct any amounts owing to it prior to delivery of the Financial Assets and cash (and, accordingly, Bank will be entitled to sell Financial Assets and apply the sale proceeds in satisfaction of amounts owing to it). Customer will reimburse Bank promptly for all out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in delivering Financial Assets upon termination. Termination will not affect any of the liabilities either party owes to the other arising under this Agreement prior to such termination.
